And what is the definition of "player"? According to 4-34-1, a player is one of the 5 team members who are legally on the court at the same time. Since this is before the game, how do you tell which 5 are the "players"? Since this is an intermission, rather than the game itself, you can then use 4-34-2, which states, "During an intermission, all team members are bench personnel."

That is the reason why there has been this discussion about the difference between "player", "team member" and "bench personnel", because of the definitions of the terms used.
